All you really need to know about that rank is that it essentially is BROKEN.

It basically goes above and beyond type composition, defensive stats, status - and the only way to stop someone who's using them to their full potential is to grab a full counter team and heavy prediction.

Now of course, that doesn't mean it can compensate for lack of skill. If an m-sala user allows you to hit an ice special attack, that's basically a free mon: but if you let it DD, nothing can really stop it anymore.

A mega gengar without shadow tag in consideration is a frail wallbreaker: with it, it instantly renders the opponent unable to use anything weak to it.

Using Jump Kick marshadow on a fairy type is a good way to give free bp - a well timed spectral thief will decide the entire match.
